SASKATOON --
The Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority has started a grant program to support the local economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"As our community faces the unprecedented task of limiting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, local businesses have been greatly affected,” SREDA President and CEO Alex Fallon said in a news release.

“Many are uncertain of how to keep up with overhead costs and remain operational – both now and in the future. SREDA is taking an active role in supporting small businesses to create a base for continued growth once the pandemic slows.”
